Study on the Effect of Dark Tea Fermentation Liquid with Eurotium cristatum on the Activity of Digestive Enzyme

Abstract:

The effect of dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum on the activity of digestive enzyme was researched, as fellowing amylase, protease, lipase. The results showed that dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum may increase remarkably the activity of α-amylase and protease, but decrease efficiently the activity of lipase. The fermentation liquid improves the digestion and absorption of starch and protein, but inhibits the decomposition and absorption of fat, so it can explain the mechanism of Fu-brick tea's health functions.

Key words:Eurotium Cristatum, Dark tea fermentation liquid, Amylase, Protease, Lipase, Enzyme activity
